    I remember playing that game once. I sat down in front of the Zenith and the 2600 with a bowl of Cheetos and a big glass of orange Kool Aid. I plugged in the cartridge and hit "Start."

    The next thing I remember the police were pulling me off the bodies of my next door neighbors. I was shrieking "THE ABYSS STARES BACK! IT STARES INTO THE DARKNESS WITHIN!!!" There was so much blood... sooooo much blood...

    "...Reports found online indicated the famed Atari designer Ed Rotberg was instrumental in the development of the game."

    I remember playing the game up to level 5. After that the game is a blank. The only thing I can recall is the guys in suits sitting with me at the kitchen table telling me there was no level 5...

    Because why not, that's why. Are you saying your head wouldn't be messed up if the Bishop of Battle came out of a video game and tried to kill you?
